I went onto UC Berkeley as an ASUC Berkeley employee while earning a Certificate in Business Management at Berkeley in 1984. I received additional Certificates from Berkeley in Marketing and in HR Management "With Distinction", along with 1988-1989 programs in England as a Berkeley/Oxford scholar and in 1990, as a Cambridge-UCLA Summer Scholar, Trinity Hall,Cambridge.

My MA studies in Eastern European and Russian began at San Francisco State University, 1989-1990, and then I was accepted to the University of London, Fall 1990. I love London, and outside of Los Angeles, my favoriite ticket on BA is "LAX to LHR". My film A STRANGER IN LONDON is dedicated to my time in London.
